History

Six incomplete ships of the 1010t-class, the Le Fier , L'Agile , L'Alsacien , L'Entreprenant , Le Farouche and Le Corse were captured by the German Army in June 1940. Renamed to TA1 - TA6 ("Torpedoboot Ausland"), it was planed to complete all six ships, but material shortages and sabotage by French workers made this impossible. In April 1943, the focus was changed to continue only two ships, TA1 and TA4 but even they were not completed.

TA3 was captured in June 1940. Construction only continued very slowly until April 1942 when it was stopped. In July of the folowing year parts of the ship were ordered to be used to continue the other ships of this class. The hulk was destroyed during an air attack in March 1944, the remains were scrapped in 1952.
